Africa’s Talent Generator Shipping Players Around The World

When thinking of Ghanaian football, more than likely, the thought of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa springs to mind, the excitement they bought, the joyous fans and unfortunately the agonising penalty miss by Asamoah Gyan in the quarter-final against Luis Suárez’ Uruguay. Since that fateful day the trend on the national team has been on a downward trajectory, they have managed to qualify for the next World Cup but not convincingly.

Somewhat surprisingly, Ghana deserves a lot of praise for bringing so much talent into the football sphere. Specifically, the Right To Dream Academy (RTD) in the Eastern Region of the nation. Why is this academy so important? Why are we talking about it? Unknown to many, the RTD is growing, and the players produced from their system is only growing larger, across Africa, Europe and Worldwide.
